(1) 4-6 In the 1950s, Nivola's father's Sardinian birthplace, with its modest red roofs, scenic valley, and welcoming relatives, was a mind-opening place to visit. Orani and its people are lovingly evoked in watercolor and gouache paintings, from expansive views to more intimate scenes. It's not a nostalgic picture, but one of children thriving in a close-knit community nurtured by its simple way of life.
